She launched her career as a financial reporter for the Vancouver Sun, Western Canada's largest newspaper and at 23, was the youngest editorial page writer ever hired at Vancouver's Province newspaper.

Moving to television, she worked for Canwest Television Network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and as the West Coast bureau chief and correspondent for CTV National News in Canada. Later she trail blazed her way to CTV Television's W5, Canada's top news magazine programme, as anchor and correspondent.

Within a year of arriving in New Zealand in 1984, she won the first of many national media awards. Reporting for TVNZ's Eyewitness News, news magazine Close Up and 60 Minutes, she has also anchored her own nightly national television programme, TV3's A Current Affair and The Westcott File and worked as a correspondent for 20/20. She has also hosted radio programmes for ZB in Auckland.
